Thanks!  This explains the fatal error for breath marks within square brackets. 
 As far as other marks (e.g. dynamics and fermatas) are concerned I have to 
correct myself: they don't cause fatal errors during compilation – whether they 
are placed inside or outside square brackets.  But they generate a warning in 
either case.  So the musicxml2ly issue at stake can be narrowed down to the 
fact that musicxml2ly should not place breath marks inside square brackets.

IMO it should be mentioned somewhere in the NR that no expressive marks may be 
placed behind breath marks – perhaps under 'Known issues and warnings' either 
in subsection 1.3.2 or 1.2.4.
